Podcasts about health advice

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat! In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Kali Dayton, nurse practitioner, international consultant, and the bold voice behind the Awake and Walking ICU movement. Together, they peel back the curtain on a common but rarely questioned practice in critical care: routine heavy sedation of patients on ventilators.Kali shares her journey from a nurse in a pioneering ICU—where awake, mobile, intubated patients were the norm—to a world where comatose ventilator patients are the expectation. She unpacks the hidden harms of automatic sedation, sharing both eye-opening research and the heart-wrenching stories of ICU survivors who left with trauma, cognitive struggles, and fractured lives.Dr. Bonta and Kali explore how culture, habit, and outdated beliefs have shaped critical care—and challenge us all to rethink what's possible. Is it really safer, easier, or kinder to keep patients sedated? Or can presence, mobility, and human connection transform not just survival, but recovery?Get ready to question what you thought you knew about the ICU, discover what's already possible in some hospitals, and hear a call to action for compassionate, evidence-based change. If you work in healthcare—or might ever need it—this is a conversation you can't afford to miss. Let's ditch the lab coat and reimagine patient care, one episode at a time.Episode HighlightsRethinking ICU Sedation — Most ventilated patients don't require deep sedation—remaining awake can actually improve outcomes and reduce harm.Hidden Harm of Sedation — Automatic sedation often leads to delirium, long-term trauma, and cognitive impairment for many ICU survivors.Awake and Walking ICU Model — It's possible and beneficial to keep intubated patients awake and mobile; some ICUs already achieve this routinely.Cultural Myths in Medicine — Common ICU practices persist due to unexamined traditions, not necessarily the latest evidence or patient-centered thinking.Preventing Delirium Is Key — Early avoidance of sedation and encouraging mobility drastically decrease risks of ICU delirium and related complications.Power of Patient Stories — Listening to ICU survivors reveals the real, lasting harms of unnecessary sedation and challenges clinical assumptions.Team Buy-In Essential — Successful change requires educating and involving the entire healthcare team, from doctors to bedside nurses.Early Mobility Saves Lives — Mobilizing patients—even walking them—within hours of intubation is not only feasible, but can improve recovery.Family Involvement Matters — Informing and including families in care expectations helps calm patients and supports a less traumatic ICU experience.Start Small, Lead Change — Begin cultural transformation with one patient, one team—small steps can drive a revolution toward better, humane care.Episode Timestamps05:14 — Challenges of Mechanical Ventilation 06:57 — ICU Nursing: Breathing Tube Walks 10:14 — ICU Norms Challenged: Breathing Tubes 13:16 — Pioneering Awake, Mobile Patient Care 19:11 — Awake and Walking ICU Initiative 22:06 — Rethinking Hospital DVT Practices 25:42 — Sedation Considerations Before Intubation 27:20 — Reducing Delirium in ICU Care 32:57 — Sedation: Not Just Laughing Gas 36:24 — Rounding Culture and ICU Challenges 39:08 — Improving ICU Care: ABCDEF Protocol 41:23 — Rethinking Patient Sedation Practices 44:14 — Improving ICU Patient Care 47:38 — Revolutionizing Awake ICU CareDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Marie Claire Bourque, a psychiatrist, executive coach, and mental performance consultant to elite athletes, including the Toronto Maple Leafs. Together, they dive into the world of high performance under pressure, uncovering what medicine can learn from the mental training of professional athletes.Dr. Bourque shares her insights on the importance of presence, focus, and resetting under stress—skills commonly built into the toolkit of elite performers but often neglected in the medical field. She discusses practical strategies like meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, and values-based living, emphasizing that these are trainable skills, not innate talents. Meditation, Dr. Bourque explains, isn't about getting good at meditating—it's about getting good at life, particularly in moments when it matters most.The conversation moves through the parallels between elite sports and the demands of medicine, exploring how even top professionals need to recognize when mental health support or even medication is necessary to maintain well-being and performance. Dr. Bourque candidly addresses the stigma around mental health and medication, both in sports and medicine, and the risks of trying to "white-knuckle" through life on hard mode.Listeners will come away with actionable advice on sleep, movement, nutrition, and discovering one's true values. Dr. Bourque's approach highlights the need to care for mental fitness just as intentionally as physical health, whether you're a surgeon, an athlete, or just navigating daily stress.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in resilience, focus, and living with purpose—reminding us that training our minds is just as vital as training our bodies, and life doesn't have to be lived on hard mode.Episode HighlightsMeditation Enhances Daily Living — Meditation isn't just for calm; it helps you navigate real-life challenges by keeping you grounded in the present.Reset With Breathwork —Conscious diaphragmatic breathing helps you regain composure and focus, especially when distractions or stress threaten performance.Value-Based Living Drives Decisions — Identifying and living by your true values leads to greater fulfillment and resilience, rather than societal or external expectations.Sleep is Foundational Health — Adequate, restorative sleep is a non-negotiable for optimal performance, mental clarity, and emotional regulation.Movement Prevents Mental Illness —Regular, moderate-intensity exercise (150 minutes weekly) significantly lowers risk of depression and anxiety, supporting overall well-being.Substance Use Isn't a Solution —Self-medicating, especially with alcohol or cannabis, is common but ultimately harms performance, resilience, and long-term health.Purpose Motivates and Sustains Us — A clear sense of purpose, even if small, is essential for satisfaction and sustained motivation in day-to-day life.You Don't Have to Suffer — Life doesn't have to be lived on “hard mode”—seeking support and building skills makes it easier and more fulfilling.Episode Timestamps5:58 — Training Focus: Athletes vs. Doctors9:05 — Dedicated Daily Self-Improvement Practice11:50 — Mastering Presence through Meditation14:10 — Understanding Apologies and Distractions18:30 — Supporting Young Athletes' Mental Health23:05 — Athletes' Struggles with Substance Abuse26:45 — Reducing Self-Medication Through Therapy27:57 — Youth Misconceptions About Cannabis32:55 — Living by True Personal Values36:42 — Importance of Values in Decision-Making39:42 — Actionable Self-Improvement Tips41:42 — Escaping Life's Hard ModeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat, the podcast where we cut through the noise and myths swirling around modern healthcare—one evidence-based conversation at a time. I'm Dr. Mark Bonta, and in today's episode, get ready to hear from one of our returning guests: Dr. Samira Jeimy, allergist, immunologist, associate professor, and the straight-talking force behind Allergies Explained.Dr. Jeimy is here to tackle her “Top 10 Propaganda Pieces” as an allergy expert—the big healthcare myths, media soundbites, and outright scams that drive her up the wall. From debunking the so-called ‘immunity debt' theory and the raw milk craze, to exposing the truth behind pricey food intolerance tests and the seductive marketing of wellness supplements, she brings a blend of humor, clinical wisdom, and no-nonsense clarity.You'll hear why “natural” doesn't always mean safe, how supplement and testing industries prey on patient anxiety, and why stories—more than science—often shape the health choices we make. Dr. Jeimy also takes us inside the real conversations she has with patients confused by allergy myths, and how she helps untangle fact from fiction, one appointment at a time.Whether you're a healthcare professional, a chronic allergy sufferer, a concerned parent, or just tired of being bamboozled in the supplement aisle, this episode brings fresh perspective, sharp debunking, and a dose of laughter to your feed. So cozy up and get ready to ditch the misinformation, as we dive into the truth behind the top allergy and immunology myths with Dr. Samira Jeimy.Episode HighlightsImmunity Debt Myth Don't believe the narrative that lack of infection "weakens" your immune system; real harm comes from infections, not their absence.Food Intolerance Tests Are Useless Expensive food intolerance tests measure exposure, not intolerance, leading to wasted money and unnecessary diet restrictions.Natural Isn't Always Safe “Natural” products (like raw milk, plant oils) aren't automatically safe—many can cause harm or severe allergic reactions.Eczema Not About Food Eliminating foods often doesn't cure eczema; the real issue is inflammation of the skin, not food allergies.Overtesting Creates False Allergies Unnecessary allergy testing leads to false positives, unhelpful labels, and dangerous food restrictions.Episode Timestamps 4:16 — Influencer Impact on Health Information 6:35 — "Storytelling's Impact in Tech and Health" 12:51 — Health Concerns or Misdirection? 16:52 — Food Desensitization and Lifestyle Changes 20:07 — Countering Misinformation on Allergies 21:46 — Dietary Restrictions and Relationship Strain 25:24 — Immune System Overreaction Dangers 27:48 — Benadryl: Canada's Sole IV Antihistamine 31:12 — Dairy, Sugar, and Skin Health 35:08 — Unreported Complementary Health Treatments 38:52 — The Limitations of Unvalidated Diagnostic Tests 42:46 — Dr. Jamie: Compassionate Healthcare AdvocateDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Bruce and Gaydos explain why you should never take mental health advice from TikTok and other social media platform.

Urologist Diana Londoño discusses her article, "From healers to influencers: How fear took over health care advice." Diana addresses the concerning trend of physicians using fear-inducing tactics on social media, which she argues prioritizes engagement over genuine patient well-being. Instead of guiding and comforting, this approach often leaves people feeling scared and confused about their health choices. Diana explores the potential motivations behind this shift, such as the pursuit of clicks, likes, shares, and a perceived sense of worth tied to follower counts, questioning if a "dopamine rush" fuels this behavior. She advocates for a return to the core principles of the medical profession: to heal and teach by sharing information constructively and easing suffering, rather than perpetuating a cycle of fear. The conversation offers an actionable takeaway for medical professionals to reflect on their communication strategies and for listeners to become more critical consumers of online health content.

Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta! While we usually dig into the science behind medicine's biggest questions, on this episode, Dr. Mark is joined by the extraordinary Dr. Erwin Loh — a powerhouse at the intersection of medicine, law, healthcare leadership, and medical futurology. Dr. Loh is not only the President of the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators and National Director of Medical Services for Calvary Healthcare in Australia, but he's also a trusted voice on LinkedIn, where he untangles medical breakthroughs and ethical dilemmas for his global audience on the daily (sometimes 5 to 10 times a day!)—all while juggling life as an executive and dad.Together, Mark and Erwin tackle some of the most pressing—and headline-worthy—topics in medicine today. They dig into Long Covid: what it is, why it's not just "all in your head," and why the recognition of this condition is also reshaping how we think about elusive illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. If you've wondered what's really happening with the mysterious gut microbiome, the resurgence of old viruses, or the risks of misinformation in today's media chaos, you'll find answers grounded in the latest evidence, not just the loudest opinions.But that's not all—they venture into the weird and wild wonders of scientific progress, from the looming issue of plastics in our cells to CRISPR gene editing and the promises (and perils) of AI in healthcare. Along the way, you'll hear why microplastics might be the “asbestos of our age,” how mixing vaccines can make you a lightning rod for online trolls, and why being cautiously optimistic about humanity's next steps—despite climate change, pandemics, and deepfake bioweapons—is not just reasonable, it's necessary.Whether you're a science junkie, a future-watcher, or simply want a hopeful, no-nonsense take on where medicine is headed (and how it affects your life), this episode delivers smart, ethical, and accessible conversation. Pour yourself something strong, turn your curiosity up to eleven, and get ready for a tour de force of myth-busting, insight, and inspiring optimism from two voices at the cutting edge of healthcare.Tune in for the kind of honest, evidence-based, and thought-provoking discussion you won't find anywhere else—right here on Ditch the Lab Coat!Dr Loh's Links( https://www.linkedin.com/in/erwinloh/ )( https://x.com/erwinloh )Episode HighlightsLong Covid: Real and Varied Long Covid is a legitimate, multifaceted syndrome. Most cases improve within two years, but symptoms and underlying mechanisms differ widely.Post-Viral Syndromes Aren't New Long-term illness after viral infections, like after influenza or Epstein Barr, has long existed—Covid just spotlighted this issue.Chronic Illness Recognition Grows Long Covid research is giving more credibility to conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia within the medical community.Silent Illnesses Challenge Healthcare Illnesses without definitive biomarkers, such as Long Covid, are harder to diagnose and treat, often leading to patient stigma.Microbiome's Expanding Influence Our gut, skin, and oral microbiomes profoundly affect physical and mental health, though much remains to be discovered about exactly how.Viruses and Chronic Disease Links Viruses may contribute to diseases like multiple sclerosis, cancers, and possibly Alzheimer's, highlighting new frontiers in research.Gene Editing: Transformative Power CRISPR technology lets us precisely edit human genes, promising cures for some diseases but raising major ethical and safety concerns.AI: Double-Edged Healthcare Tool AI accelerates medical discovery and innovation but can also enable harmful outcomes, including creation of bioweapons or misinformation.Plastics: Ubiquitous Unknown Threat Microplastics are everywhere, even in our cells. The true health risks are not fully understood but raise serious environmental and biological questions.Episode Timestamps4:22 – Long Covid: Global Challenge and Uncertainty9:31 – Recognizing Long Covid's Impact10:47 – Exploring Long Covid Treatments16:39 – Unknown Frontiers in Science18:22 – Understanding Microbiome and Disease Dynamics21:04 – COVID Vaccination Journey and Hybrid Immunity24:42 – LinkedIn: Fewer Trolls, Richer Conversations29:04 – Gene Therapy via Phage Infections31:58 – Genetic Correction: Hope and Ethics36:54 – AI and Humanity's Existential Challenges41:14 – Future of Microplastics and Society44:24 – AI, Cognition, and Future Governance46:28 – "Medical Futurology with Irwin Lowe48:31 – "AI in Medicine: Trust MattersDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta! While we usually dig into the science behind medicine's biggest questions, this week we're tackling the latest health fads and “wellness” trends lighting up your social feeds—from infrared saunas and cold plunges to mouth taping and chlorophyll water.Joining Mark is Dr. Samir Gupta, a leading Canadian health communicator, clinician, and respirologist known for translating the complex world of medical research into practical advice you can trust. Together, they sift fact from fiction on everything from the cardiovascular perks of sauna bathing (is it really the “new running”?), to the surprising metabolic effects of cold immersion, and what science truly says about intermittent fasting and its potential risks.If you've ever wondered whether that daily cold plunge will actually boost your immune system, or if packing your cart with ultra-processed foods is as dangerous as smoking, this episode is for you. Mark and Samir unpack the real data—both the encouraging findings and the cautionary tales—behind today's most viral wellness hacks, including why you might want to think twice before taping your mouth shut or spending a fortune on chlorophyll water.They also take a deep dive into the gut microbiome—what it actually is, how it impacts cravings and disease risk, and why you shouldn't rush to buy the latest “miracle” probiotic kit just yet. Plus, a frank discussion on the harms (and sometimes hilarity) of the social media health machine.Whether you're a wellness skeptic, a trend-chaser, or just someone confused by conflicting health advice, this episode delivers the scientifically sound, refreshingly honest perspective you've been looking for. Plug in for myth-busting, evidence-backed conversation—and a few laughs—about what it really takes to live healthier, longer, and smarter.Episode HighlightsSauna Science Surprises : Frequent sauna use, especially Finnish-style, is linked to reduced heart disease and dementia risk, with short- and long-term benefits.Infrared vs. Traditional Saunas : Infrared saunas might differ from classic dry saunas; less data supports their health claims, especially regarding respiratory or cardiovascular outcomes.Benefits and Limits of Cold Plunge : Cold plunges activate brown fat and may modulate immunity, but benefits depend on regular, protocol-based use—not occasional dips.Intermittent Fasting: Mixed Signals : Intermittent fasting can offer metabolic perks and moderate weight loss, but recent studies raise concerns about potential long-term cardiovascular risks.Ultra Processed Foods: New Tobacco : Growing evidence ties ultra processed foods to shorter lifespans, heart disease, cancers, and mental health risks—diet quality matters deeply.Fad Diets: Caution Required : Trends like the carnivore diet or chlorophyll water lack solid evidence and may distract from proven, common-sense health choices.Ancient Traditions, Modern Evidence : Heat and cold therapies are age-old practices; modern research is catching up to explain their physiological and health effects.Gut Microbiome: Emerging Frontier : The diversity and health of your gut bacteria impact metabolism, immunity, cravings, and possibly mental health; much remains unknown.Simple Habits Still Matter : Basic changes—better sleep, home cooking, activity, limiting processed foods—often have more impact than supplements or extreme regimens.Episode Timestamps06:00 – Sauna Benefits: Short and Long Term?08:44 – Evaluating Health Trends Skeptically13:19 – Ancient Health Benefits of Saunas17:00 – WeGovy Microdosing: Affordability and Efficacy19:52 – Intermittent Fasting: A Convenient Habit21:49 – Metabolic Adaptation and Eating Habits26:03 – Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods29:46 – Ultra-Processed Foods: Health Risks Highlighted33:09 – Unexpected Health Outcomes: Smoking vs. Lifestyle35:55 – Microbiome's Impact on Health and Cravings38:14 – Gut Microbiome: Promising but Uncertain42:41 – Investing in Health Improvements44:33 – Rethinking Supplement Fads with ScienceDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta! Normally, we dig deep into medical mysteries and healthcare headlines, but today we're taking a high-flying detour into the world of extreme movement and gravity-defying stunts. In this episode, Mark sits down with internationally renowned parkour athlete, free runner, stunt performer, and Ninja Warrior UK finalist, Joe Scandrett. If you've ever seen someone leap between rooftops or swing from lampposts like a real-life Spider-Man, you've probably watched Joe in action.But behind the jaw-dropping videos and viral stunts lies an athlete with intense focus, respect for his craft, and a work ethic rivaling Olympic champions. Joining the conversation is Dr. Sagar Desai, an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon to elite athletes, who helps break down the anatomy of risk, recovery, and resilience when things go wrong.Together, they explore everything from the mental prep before attempting a death-defying pole slide, to how parkour athletes minimize injury, and how the sport's next generation is pushing the human body further than ever. We hear the honest truth about injury, fear, the importance of listening to your gut, and why sometimes the bravest move is to walk away.Whether you're a curious parent, a health professional, or someone itching to try a backflip in the backyard, this episode is packed with adrenaline, wisdom, and practical advice for athletes of any level. So plug in, get ready for an inside look into the world of extreme movement, and discover what it really means to chase mastery—without losing your head (or your ankles) along the way.Episode HighlightsCalculated Risk Over Recklessness : Progress carefully, know your limits, and differentiate between safe pushing and dangerous stunts.Preparation Beats Adrenaline Chasing : Success in extreme sports comes from meticulous mental and physical prep, not just thrill-seeking.Community Strengthens Skills : Being part of a community offers support, feedback, and encouragement for safer progression.Listen To Your Body : Recognize warning signs and walk away if something feels wrong; self-preservation is paramount.Injury Recovery Requires Patience : Take the time to heal and pace your return; rushing leads to setbacks.Respect Individual Progression : Focus on gradual, personal skill development rather than comparing yourself to others or rushing milestones.Technical Mastery Is Essential : Precision and practice trump brute force; landings and proper techniques prevent injuries.Mentorship Matters : Guidance from experienced athletes or coaches is critical for both safety and progression.Episode Timestamps01:00 – Unveiling Joe Scandret's Adventures04:22 – Extreme Sports Evolution: Instagram Phenomenon09:46 – Risky Movement Preparation11:59 – Parkour vs. Medicine: A Risky Comparison13:57 – Surviving Jumps: Risk and Technique17:08 – Achilles Injury Misdiagnosis20:19 – Rebuilding Confidence After Injury24:21 – Ego-Free Decision Making28:48 – Parkour Risks for Non-Professionals30:01 – Coaching Challenges in Parkour33:20 – Balancing Encouragement and Safety36:56 – Parkour Participation Across Ages42:42 – Athletes and Surgeons: A Unified Goal43:32 – Stay Grounded, Trust YouthDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Hello I'm back!!! In this episode, I'm breaking down where I've been, the key differences between male and female hormones, why women need different health strategies, and how to start supporting your body the way it was designed to work. Most health advice was made for men. But women's bodies, hormones, and rhythms are completely different — and when we ignore that, we feel tired, inflamed, and frustrated.Whether you're struggling with weight loss, painful periods, low energy, or mood swings — this is the foundational truth you need to hear.What you'll learn today:How men's and women's hormone patterns differWhy women's health advice needs to changeWhat happens when women don't support their hormonesCycle Savvy: get 15% off when you use code PODCAST at checkoutFREE MASTERCLASS: The Secret to Effortless Weight Loss, More energy, and Periods you Barely Noticeenroll in Metabolism Magic Request a Podcast Topicfollow me on Instagram @naturallynatalie.rdfollow me on Tik Tok @natalietrapasso

In today's episode, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Sasha High—internist, obesity medicine specialist, founder of High Metabolic Clinic, and host of the High on Life podcast—to take a fresh, science-based look at weight management, obesity, and why sticking to those well-intentioned New Year's resolutions isn't just about willpower.Dr. High pulls back the curtain on one of the most stubborn misconceptions in medicine: that losing weight is simply about eating less and moving more. Instead, she invites us inside the fascinating intersection of biology, psychology, and our modern environment—unpacking everything from the brain's reward system and relentless food cravings, to the real effects of ultra-processed foods and why portion control strategies aren't always enough. Plus, they dig into headline-grabbing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, exploring how these new tools fit into a holistic approach rooted in compassion and sustainability rather than shame.Whether you've ever found yourself battling the dessert buffet, struggling with food noise, or just curious about what truly works when it comes to lasting weight management, this episode is packed with evidence-based insights, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of empathy. So, plug in and get ready to challenge your assumptions—and maybe even get a little kinder to yourself along the way.Check out the High on Life podcast with Dr. Sasha High and sashahighmd.comEpisode HighlightsObesity Isn't Willpower Alone : Obesity is driven by biology and genetics, not just lack of willpower. Many factors influence eating behaviors beyond conscious choice.The Power of Food Environment : Ultra-processed, hyper-palatable foods hijack our brain's reward system, making moderation especially hard for some people.All-or-Nothing Thinking Sabotages ProgressRigid dieting mindsets cause yo-yo cycles. Adopting a “next best choice” approach is far more sustainable.Protein Keeps Hunger in Check : Including protein with every meal helps stabilize blood sugar, maintain satiety, and curb overeating, especially with snacks.Manage Emotional Eating Mindfully : Emotional eating is common and not always bad, but learning emotional regulation skills is key for sustainable weight management.Ultra-Processed Food Is UbiquitousAccessibility and cost make it hard to avoid unhealthy foods, so realistic, values-based strategies are essential for change.Small Changes Beat Drastic Diets : Stepwise, patient-led lifestyle changes tailored to individual values work better than strict, all-or-nothing overhauls.GLP-1 Medications: Tool, Not CureMedications like Ozempic can help some, but they must supplement—not replace—lifestyle and psychological interventions.Episode Timestamps02:00 – Challenging Weight Loss Myths05:08 – Understanding Obesity and Eating Motivation07:08 – The Cycle of Constant Hunger10:28 – Lifestyle Change: Beyond Basic Knowledge15:02 – Mindful Eating and Neuroplasticity16:59 – Insulin Resistance: Beyond Calorie Count22:51 – Reframing Sugar: Marathon Fuel25:48 – Food Risks: Health vs. Accessibility28:30 – Patient-Led Lifestyle Changes32:35 – Behavior Change Through Habit Design33:30 – Motivating Change Through Values37:18 – Psychology's Role in Weight Management43:32 – Empowering Healthcare Providers45:03 – Balancing Health: Meds & CompassionDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta is joined by Dr. Robert C. Smith, University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Psychiatry at Michigan State University, to tackle one of modern healthcare's biggest blind spots: mental health care in the medical system.Dr. Smith—renowned educator, author, and advocate—pulls back the curtain on how, despite mental health problems being the most common health condition seen in practice, most doctors are dangerously undertrained to diagnose or treat them. He explains that medicine's longstanding “mind-body split” traces back centuries, shaping medical education, health systems, and even our billing codes to treat mental and physical health as separate entities. The result? Nearly 75% of mental health care is provided in primary care settings by clinicians who received only about 2% of their training in mental health.The conversation is both a critique and a call to action. Dr. Smith advocates for a revolution in medical education—a new “Flexner Report”—to fully integrate mental health teaching and the biopsychosocial model at every level of training. He shares lessons from history, the cultural and structural forces behind the mind-body divide, and practical examples from the clinic—like why lifestyle factors and trauma histories are so often ignored.Dr. Bonta and Dr. Smith also offer practical advice for both clinicians and patients: how to advocate for better care, what questions to ask, and the importance of seeing patients as whole people rather than a sum of body parts or checklists.If you've ever felt that your mental health concerns weren't taken seriously, or if you're a healthcare provider frustrated by a broken system, this episode offers both context and hope—a blueprint for creating a healthcare system that truly sees and treats the whole person.Episode HighlightsBiopsychosocial Model's Limits : Treating biological, psychological, and social factors as separate fails patients; true integration is essential for holistic care.Insufficient Mental Health Training : Most doctors get minimal mental health education, despite facing these issues daily in primary care settings.Systemic Checkboxes Over People: Medical culture prioritizes checklists and protocols, often neglecting patients' real experiences and interconnected life factors.Chronic Disease and Mental Health : Overlooking mental health and lifestyle factors worsens outcomes for chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes.PTSD as Teaching Tool : Post-traumatic stress highlights how physical and psychological symptoms are deeply entwined and inseparable in patient care.Need For Top-Down Reform : Only policy-level, systemic changes can mandate integration of mental health into mainstream medical education and practice.Patient Advocacy Is Crucial : Change won't arrive without active voices from patients and the public demanding better, more integrated care.Actionable Lifestyle Advice : Regular exercise, good diet, mindfulness, and honest self-reflection can support both mental and physical resilience.Communication Beats Technology : As artificial intelligence advances, true human connection in healthcare—listening, understanding, empathy—remains irreplaceable.Episode Timestamps04:53 – Biopsychosocial Model Critique07:32 – PTSD: Linking Mental and Physical Health10:20 – “Mind-Body Split in Medicine”15:53 – Mind-Body Connection in Chronic Care17:40 – Lifestyle-Induced Health Complications21:32 – “Reforming Medicine: A Systems Approach”26:25 – Biopsychosocial Model in Healthcare29:35 – Mental Health Training Shortfall30:41 – Integrated Biopsychosocial Medical Training35:20 – Interdisciplinary Approach to Trauma Inquiry37:44 – Lifestyle Hacks for Mental and Physical Resilience43:24 – Healthcare System's Training Limitations45:11 – Prioritize Mental Health AwarenessDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta takes us into the underappreciated world of medical documentation—and the burnout it breeds—by shining a spotlight on two disruptors aiming to change the status quo. Joined by Dr. Kyle Fortinsky, a gastroenterologist and self-proclaimed tech enthusiast, and serial entrepreneur Jay Gilbert, the discussion pulls back the curtain on the all-too-familiar struggle of physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers documenting late into the night while real life passes them by.Together, they unpack the daily grind of charting and how the current EMR landscape keeps clinicians glued to screens, often at the expense of patient care and personal well-being. Jay and Kyle reveal the origin story of their innovative startup, Clever Consult, born from both firsthand medical experience and the intimate view of a spouse disappearing into late-night charting marathons. Listeners get a candid look at their journey from scribbled napkin ideas to building a privacy-first AI assistant that actually understands clinical nuance.Beyond the tech talk, this episode explores everything from the high-risk realities of endoscopy procedures to the frustrating hunt for vital information buried in endless patient charts. The conversation also delves into the real fears—and hurdles—of integrating AI into healthcare, from privacy concerns to the challenge of building tech that truly lightens clinicians' workloads.With humor and humility, Dr. Fortinsky and Jay Gilbert make the case that “doctor-built, doctor-focused” AI can finally start to reclaim the cognitive energy clinicians lose to admin overload. Rather than replace clinicians, this technology aims to empower them, helping doctors spend less time as scribes and more time as healers, problem-solvers, and humans.Tune in to hear how the marriage between entrepreneurial grit and frontline medical experience is forging a new path—one where AI does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, so healthcare professionals can get back to what truly matters: caring for people.Episode HighlightsWhy We NEED This: Kyle and Jay share horror stories of never-ending notes, missed dinners, and knowing your patient is safe to scope only after 20 minutes combing PDFs for hidden warfarin doses.The Product: An AI tool designed not to replace doctors, but to free them from scribal servitude. Clever Consult ingests mountains of charts, consults, labs, and more—then gifts you the focused summary you need, before you see the patient.Built by Doctors, for Doctors: "If physicians don't look after themselves, they can't look after patients.” That's the mantra guiding Clever Consult's development.Privacy FIRST: With patient confidentiality sacred, the team spent more money on privacy law than anything else. All data's in Canada, nothing is retained by AI vendors, and legal experts guide every tech decision.The Human Touch: While some fear robots will take the stethoscope, Jay and Kyle see AI as an assistant—not a replacement—to boost diagnostic accuracy, flag hidden dangers, and (finally!) give us more one-on-one time with patients.The Future: Imagine charting in a fraction of the time, cognitive energy reserved for real-life problem-solving (not formatting notes on endless EMR screens), and leaving “scut work” to the machines.Episode Timestamps03:35 – Revolutionizing Healthcare with Tech09:13 – Streamlining Medical Data Management12:52 – “Improving Medical Efficiency with AI”16:21 – Serendipitous Developer Collaboration17:14 – Building & Validating the Business Model20:57 – “Balancing AI's Strengths and Weaknesses”25:36 – AI Legal Consultation for Data Compliance28:27 – Bridging Software and Medical Expertise32:27 – AI Revolution in Medical Diagnostics34:33 – AI‑Enhanced Medical Diagnosis40:29 – Deep AI Solutions for Medical Documentation42:06 – “AI‑Driven Healthcare Documentation”47:33 – AI Revolutionizes Healthcare DocumentationDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Learn how to live longer, healthier, and happier by reframing your relationship to stress — it's time to stress ourselves “the right way”. The Science is showing that stress is beneficial and it helps build resilience. In this fascinating interview you'll learn about a new approach to stress management. “It's Stress 2.0” according to my guest, top doctor and leading researcher, Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist. Once you listen you'll have a new understanding about how to view stress and use it to improve your health. “Dr. Bergquist unpacks a surprising paradox: our bodies actually need stress to thrive; by deliberately stressing yourself the right way, you will heal, repair, and regenerate your body. In her forthcoming book The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier, Dr. Bergquist explains that brief bursts of “good” stress, such as fasting, high-intensity exercise, and cold and hot exposure, can activate our cellular repair mechanisms and lead to better overall health, increased energy, and even improved longevity.” So excited for you to listen + share this conversation with all of your friends!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-20-2025: Dr. Dawn responds to an email about osteoporosis treatment options, explaining the risk assessment for fractures, discussing injectable alternatives to Fosamax for patients with swallowing difficulties, and analyzing vibration plate therapy's effectiveness for osteoporosis. The show explores scientific curiosities including genetically modified "woolly mammoth mice" created using CRISPR technology, showing how gene editing advances could potentially resurrect extinct species and preserve the endangered. Dr. Dawn shares research revealing that tea leaves can effectively remove heavy metals from water, with both black and green tea varieties working equally well. The show discusses how strength training provides the most significant benefits for insomnia sufferers, outperforming other exercise types by creating the micro-damage necessary to trigger deep, restorative sleep. Dr. Dawn describes fascinating developments in biohybrid robotics, where researchers created a functional hand using lab-grown human muscle tissue capable of gripping objects and making scissor gestures. Now they'll work on "rock" and "paper". A caller seeks clarification about the tea purification process, with Dr. Dawn explaining that discarding used tea bags (rather than composting them) prevents reintroducing concentrated heavy metals into the environment. She examines Alpha-gal syndrome, a meat allergy triggered by Lone Star tick bites that can cause reactions to mammalian products including red meat, gelatin, keratin, and lanolin. The show addresses environmental concerns about "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in sewage sludge fertilizers, potential risks to farmworkers and highlighting studies linking drinking water contamination to increased childhood cancer rates in affected areas. Dr. Dawn explores the expanding benefits of GLP-1 drugs beyond weight loss, including reduced risks for liver failure, cardiac arrest, addiction disorders, and even Alzheimer's, while noting potential side effects. She discusses how GLP-1 medications fundamentally change food preferences and behaviors, citing cases where users shift spending from restaurants to exercise equipment and from processed foods to fruits and vegetables. A caller seeking advice on building muscle mass at age 70 receives recommendations about proper protein intake, hydration needs with kidney disease, and the importance of resistance training over general activity.

There are several curated narratives pertaining to the Crusades. Those narratives dominate not only our understanding of the Medieval Crusades but understandings of the Middle East today. But, what really happened? What initially, and really, motivated Holy Roman Empire Catholics to travel over 1200 miles eastward at the price of great sacrifice? To try to answer those questions we examine some of the history of Muslim expansion. I'll note how long before the Crusades it was that Muslims variously attacked and sacked Rome, Iberia (today's Spain & Portugal), and Jerusalem. Because we believe Jesus is Lord over culture and politics I also discuss President Trump's attempts to disassemble the GBM (Grinding Bureaucratic Machine). Along the way I tell some jokes, offer a tiny bit of health advice, and reflect on the horrors at work inside of contemporary Syria. Come laugh and think with me.
